As Healthcare Approaches $5 Trillion Breaking Point, How is Mayo Clinic Rebuilding Around AI?

In the debut episode of Follow the Money, host Dave Johnson sits down with Dennis Dahlen, Chief Financial Officer of Mayo Clinic, to explore how one of the world's most respected health systems is navigating the tension between today's fee-for-service reality and the data-driven future racing toward us. They cover a lot of ground: why healthcare is behind nearly every other industry in adopting technology, what it actually means to enter an "Age of Intelligence," how Mayo is building the data infrastructure to power AI at clinical scale, and the real obstacles — regulatory, cultural, and operational — standing between where we are and where we need to be. If you work in healthcare — as a leader, a clinician, an investor, or a policymaker — this conversation will sharpen how you think about what's coming and what it takes to be ready. 🎧 Subscribe to Follow the Money for more conversations with the healthcare leaders shaping what comes next.
